Ororable Skunks (3rd card!)

This card went to someone going through a difficult time and they loved it! I used one of the skunks from the "Odorable Skunks" set.  I coloured the image with Copics and die cut it out with the Pierced And Stitched Die set from Whimsy Stamps.  The blossom-like paper was just the perfect comlement (I thought) to the image. It is from the Tropical Flowers 6 x 6 paper pack at Whimsy.

Fox Family

Another new set  of mine was released at Whimsy Stamps this month, Fox Family! Here's a sampling using the two side view foxes and putting them together.  I coloured it with Copic markers and used a cute framing technique using the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles die at Whimsy. Finished it off with a sentiment from the Crittercorns stamp set.

Odorable Skunks (2nd card!)

I'm so happy with how this 2nd skunk card (see previous post for the 1st card) turned out!  I used Oxide inks to make the matching paper backgrounds, and Copic markers to colour the image and grass behind it. With a few dies and some white guaze to soften the look, it's all set to go to a dear someone.

Odorable Skunks!

Omg if I'm allowed to be in love with my own image sets, then this one is it!  It's got to be my new all time fav... And it was uber fun to make a little forest scene for these two skunks from the new "Odorable Skunks" set with a spring theme - and pink apple blossoms on the trees!  The black and white nature of the animals make them super easy to colour, and to put in virtually any scene with any colour palette!
I kept the colour scheme very simple with really only two colours - pinks and greens - the rest are shades of grey.  I think that is what makes it really stand out.  I used Copics for the colouring.  And I inked up the background pink layer, behind the main image panel, using Distress Oxide Inks - Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberries.

Gnome Think Spring



Hi folks! Here is a spring birthday card I made for a loved one of mine.  I coloured the little gnome from Gnome Think Spring with a mix of Copic markers and Prismacolour pencils.   I just love the sheet of daisies from the Farmhouse Paper Pack!  The die cut I used for the main image panel was Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles which is actually on a clearance sale as of this post (Feb 21, 2023) so get it while you can! It's really handy to have and it adds a cute little detail with the zig zag stitching.

Gnome Friends

I made this for a bunny loving person and I hope they're going to love it! How I love that background paper, OH it's yummy, and from such a beautiful yummy paper pack - Blissful Blues! I think it's my new favourite paper pack from Whimsy at the moment. ! I thought the combination of blues and orange tones would make the main image really stand out. 
I coloured it with Copics and put a closeup here so you can see what I did. 
I used a little tab from the Slimline Envelope Die for the "hoppy birthday", and the curved banner that has "many hoppy returns stamped on it is from the Slimline Fancy Frame Die.  The sentiments are from the Bunny Birthday clear stamp set.

Jungle Birthday (again!)

I just made this for a friend and do I ever love how it turned out!  I kept the background on the main panel white to bring your focus to the ellie with his colourful party hat and flag.  This little guy is one of four jungle characters in the Jungle Birthday set.  I love how the image is meant to be a neutral colour, and so you can really dress up the rest of the card with some bright colours; And the sheet from the Tropical Flowers paper pack was the perfect way to do just that!  
The sentiment from Gnome Birthdays was a great way to add some humour, I thought, and so did the recipient, cuz it made her giggle!

Monster Moods

Omygosh I have so much fun with monster stamps!! You can make the cutest whimsical cards with these little monsters (even if I do say so myself, heheh!)!  I wanted the bright colours to really stand out so I fussy cut them and placed them against a white card - always nice for a change, to forego layering. I just added the one strip layer, which I had made a while ago; I had made a whole sheet of it with alcohol inks of various colours, and this was the leftover piece.  I thought it was perfect to tie all these colours together and give the card a unified look. 
I coloured these guys with Copic markers and let myself go a little cray-cray with colour choices, heheh!
The monsters all came from one set, Monster Moods, and the stamped sentiment and balloon came from two other sets listed below.  I listed the links and if you follow them to make a purchase, I do get compensated, so thank you very, very much if that is you! Of course I get compensated if you purchase any of my illustrated stamp sets too, so again, thank you for your support! It helps keep me drawing new images for you to play with too!
Thanks for looking today!

Doggie Naughty 2

I could not resist doing a cute image of a dog running with toilet paper! I coloured him up with Copic markers.  
Who hasn't seen a pet (cat or dog for that matter) playing with a toilet paper roll!  

The paper from the Blissful Blues paper pack made this card super easy to put together.  I simply coloured the doggie and toilet paper, fussy cut, then pasted him down onto the paper that gives the appearance of a fence.  I just love that shade of blue - it is even more stunning in real life! 
As always, I get compensated if you follow the links on my blog to make a purchase at Whimsy Stamps, so thank you if that's you! Of course I get even more compensation if you purchase an image from my line of stamps there, so even more thanks for that too, as it really helps me to keep creating more images!
